Two of Australia's vocal powerhouses - Karen Lee Andrews and Jade MacRae take the stage with their bands at the Factory Theatre for a double album launch show.
Karen Lee Andrews possesses an unwavering artistic purpose, fire and strength. Karen will be releasing and touring her long-awaited debut album "Survival". Her songs capture the essence of life, revealing that paradise is a blend of heartache, loss, and love, and how these elements coexist.
Survival’s sound is a sublime mix of vintage soul, blues and rock carried by Karen's rich guitar tones and deep vocal convictions. Karen’s Polynesian roots are embedded in this album with gospel tones and earthly elements in every song.
Audiences will be intoxicated and engaged, and during the live show feel a real embrace between artist and listener.
“Andrews is on an inspiring and passionate musical journey. A must see.” Beat Magazine
Jade MacRae returns with her fourth full length studio album “In My Veins”. What began as an antidote to the despair of the pandemic, became a mission of turning bitter to sweet, all set against a backdrop of punchy, soul infused riffs and rhythms. The 10 song collection is carried throughout by Jade’s unique vocal power and prowess. These songs tell a tale of triumph over terror, weaving stories of deliverance through self-love, and weighing in on a time of generational panic.
The opportunity to take this album live will feature many of the original artists who contributed including co-producer Ben Rodgers, long time collaborators Mahalia Barnes and Karen Lee Andrews, stacked with a horn section of Sydney's finest, who feature heavily on the record. Audiences can expect a dynamic performance, both exhilarating and thought provoking.
"MacRae opened her mouth, and her power was matched both by the unswervingly rich tone across her considerable range and by her contagious energy." John Shand - Sydney Morning Herald.
